Default What kind of moss or grass in my paludarium?

I've been building on my paludarium for a couple of months now but i'm stuck at the land part. I'm looking for a kind of flat moss or short grass for my ground.
I've been experimenting with some wild sphagnum i found but it doesnt give me the look I want. It should be able to pretty much grow directly on the water as its just a ~1,5cm thick epiweb which is halfway submerged under water.
I've planned to have som kind of frogs and/or amphibians. Right now there are just some shrimps in the water to keep it clean.

Any ideas?

check out some aquatic mosses also.. as long as they are kept very moist they will grow. xmas tree moss is nice, and Java moss might work for what you need. once my tank is up and running, I want to go with pelia moss on my water feature, and a mix of a few different kinds on a moss wall once I am done with my 210.

baby tears is an aquatic plant that would look really lovely. You would just have to make sure that it stays nice and moist.
